Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
This has potential. Those are some rare rims.

“Willys CJ3A 4X4 Jeep with a ford 289 V8. Running driving and stopping project. Very little to no rust! Very nice upgrades to the frame. Two new front seats also included. $3800.00”
Listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, the lack of bumper gussets and the lack of bow holders suggest this might be a CJ-3A.

“Original CJ Willis jeep, all original must see!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7200.
(06/08/2021) This could be a DJ-3A body that’s been modified, but it’s hard to tell for sure. This jeep has a Bobcat hood, but it lacks a front driveline.
“Ford 302, has less than 100 miles since rebuild.
Ford T-18 transmission
Dana 20 transfer case
Boxed mail Jeep frame
Warn M8274-50 winch
Custom Dana 30 front end with Powertrax Lock-Right Locker
Dana 44 rear end with Powerlock locker
Warn manual hubs
4:88 gear ratio on the differentials
Doesn’t have front driveshaft. Just put in new battery, fuel pump and brakes.”
Lots of custom work on this unusual creation.

“1951 completely custom willys Jeep stretched with a 350 small block Chevy paired with a SM 465 manual 4-speed 3/4 ton axles one of a kind runs great! Will consider trades for 2009 or newer automatic vehicles with less than 130k miles.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/07/2021) It’s a non-running project.

“This is a 1951 Willys CJ3A project, with a clean title. I’ve wanted to complete this restoration, but life circumstances have gotten in the way. The jeep has an original L134 “go devil” engine, 6 volt system. Engine doesn’t run, but is free and turns over under starter power. Transmission and transfer case appear to be free, statically shifts into: R, 1, 2, 3, high, low; and transfer case in/out. Chasis wiring has been pulled, needs a new complete wiring harness. Original fuel tank and oil bath aircleaner were junk, have been scrapped, and need replaced. Previous owner installed new exhaust and wheel cylinders. I apologize for the sub-par pictures”
Looks solid.

“53 willys cj3a runs and drives I like driving it, wheeling it and showing it off but I want to build other projects so something has to go. New valves, solid copper head gasket, GM alternator, new belt/fan/water pump. Springs/shocks/tank/seats and top all new. Weber carb, dry air filter, custom bumpers, bigger tires. Painted by previous owner shows age dents and some holes but looks cool”
This has rear PTO plus a unique wood panel and tailgate.

“Needs a new home hasn’t ran for years, has a power take off on the rear, extra trans and transfer case, miscellaneous parts. Frame and body solid. Come take a look and make me a reasonable offer or possibly swap for what ever”
This could be worth a look.

“RADE FOR OLDER RANGER DUAL CONSOLE BASS BOAT This is a great running, driving, stopping, 1952 Willys CJ-3A. I do have the title and intact VIN plate that match the Jeep. I have put quite a bit of time and new parts in the Jeep. New Rancho lift with shocks. New 31×10.50 tires. Pretty firm on the price. If it doesn’t sell it’s getting 4cyl diesel. Figured I’d post before I pulled the original Willys F head.”
Looks like this has some version of a Porter & Reed hardtop.
